There’s a feeling of inevitability about Ole losing his job

[Stretender]

Knee jerk Café

What do you mean knee jerk? Would you still have him as your manager if he loses the next 6 games ?

He is naive and unrepentant. That will ultimately cost him his job.

Why does he keep playing this real Madrid wannabe Pogba when he is clearly off pace. Van De Beek won the game for Holland tonight. Why is this player on the bench for us?

Maguire is clearly shot of confidence. His mistakes are very unusual. Take him off the firing line. His mind is still in Greece.

And why on God's earth is David De Gea starting ahead of Henderson?

The 3 points above are exactly why this naive and inexperienced manager will be sacked. No tears from me.

 

[Lebowski]

I'm firmly of the opinion that a manager can make a lot of difference. There are many clubs who don't make many signings and are still reasonably successful. See case in point as Klopp last summer or Poch the season before that. Not making signings shouldn't excuse a manager from failing to achieve the bare minimum.

Klopp is a weird example for making the best of what you've got. He's bought 24 players during his 5 years at Liverpool, that's essentially an entire brand new squad. He also won nothing and was on the end of several implosions and embarrassing losses until he bought the world's most expensive defender to fix his back line.

I'm not trying to downplay his achievement, he's a sensational manager and comparing him to Ole is foolish, but the example of Klopp shows how important it is to have the right structure in place to allow the manager to thrive. To target the right players and have the connection between recruitment and coaching to bring in the players who fit the style you're trying to play and get rid of the ones who don't.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

We have played 3 games this season and I am genuinely not looking forward to the weekend after an international break . I don't even care about the manager anymore , everything around this club is just crazy toxic

 

[Greck]

Surely he proved last season that he is good enough to manage the team? An unexpectedly high league finish and three semi-finals was presumably on par or slightly above your expectations at the close of last summer's transfer window?

He appears to have delivered what was expected of him, meanwhile those above him have utterly failed to deliver on their end of the bargain and we've seen the positive end to the season squandered by a transfer window when all of our major rivals have strengthened and we've stood still.

We didn't stand still. United fans don't know how spoilt we sound saying a summer with 5 players brought in and 80-100m spent was standing still because none of them contained a marquee name or fan target. I hope these players succeed so these individuals can turn around and label them an Ole transfer masterclass

 

[United Hobbit]

I think he's perhaps taken us as far as he can. He has certainly laid some foundations in place but I think the next step is beyond him and if he stays too long the foundations he's laid will crumble

However there is no point sacking him without reviewing the structure above him and making some major changes. This is the 4th managerial failure this lot have overseen they finally need to be held accountable (we all know they won't but...)

However I don't think he goes. He is the perfect shield to Ed Woodward. He can hide behind him im sure I put a post about similar when he was appointed- if it goes well Ed is a genius appointing an already loved club legend, imagine if he wins us a league how great will Ed look putting his faith in him. If he fails- well he did something for the fans getting a guy they loved in, its not his fault he wasn't up to the job. Thats why he is the perfect appointment for Ed.

You then have the toxic element from fans removed due to Covid. I would have LOVED for fans to be at OT for the mauling by Tottenham- we had made one signing all window and tensions were growing i think that would have been the game the match going fans "turned." Not necessarily on Ole but those above him. Yes there's social media but easy enough for them to ignore the negative posts.

The gurning one annoys the hell out of me along with the gushing over his team, but Eds biggest mistake will always be not getting him as the successor to Sir Alex.

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

Remember he is the short term results specialist when his back is against the wall and everyone expects us to get beat. The problem is this is very short sited and not a sustainable answer to our manager position.

 

[Schmeichel=God]

I think it all stems from the start of the season. Hopeful optimism had returned on that post-lockdown run and I think the majority were willing him on and hoping he would prove himself.

That was followed by a disappointing tailing off in Europe, which was annoying, but forgivable.

But to come back for the new season the way they have. It’s been a horror show, and since he has previous for this, I think it has snuffed out that optimism and now we are just waiting for the inevitable.

I, for one, just hope it isn’t drawn out. Just get it done and let’s see what a coach like Pochettino can do with, what is undoubtedly, a talented crop of players, who should be looking much better.

This is a spot on explanation imo

Good point this. Covid may reduce the time Ole gets to turn things around.

 

[r0663664]

We will see the same old shit this week. Pogba losing ball in dangerous part of the field. Wondering if Rushford turn up? Maguire beaten by pace, virtually nothing coming from our RB. Same performance weekly with a different date.

 

[pocco]

To all the poster talking about Ole delivering last season, fair enough. He did finish top 4. On paper, job done. However, for most of the season we were dreadful. Look through this...

https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/2019-20/fixtures-and-results.html

So many poor results, for the first 20 or so games we were dropping points all over the place. It was an absolute embarrassment. At the point of lockdown, it looked like the only place we were going was further down the table. We were 1 loss off 7th place and even when we did get the points, we looked crap.

What changed was we came back from lockdown and looked fresher than other teams, having three or maybe four good performances against teams that were clearly flagging, something which showed in their other results post lockdown. Wolves and Leicester were two teams that just completely rolled over for us when, pre lockdown, they'd have given us a game without question. The good form was short lived however, and we were again picking up points whilst playing poorly, which got us over the line in the end, along with the Leicester implosion.

Then there's the points total. 66 points - absolutely pathetic but, somehow enough. The previous year that saw us in 6th.

So whilst you can say we delivered, having spent around £200m it actually felt like we didn't get any better at all compared to the previous season.

Having said all of that, I don't even judge Ole on results or league finishes solely. The performances are equally, if not more important when assessing progress. He's spent a tonne of money on an already expensive squad, whilst inheriting players that he clearly rates and has made integral to his setup. Plus he's had a major talent in Greenwood join the first team and hit the ground running. My point is he is clearly happy with some of these players, so he should be able to get them playing good football, which he isn't. We sit back and try to counter, it's cowardly football. Brighton and Palace played us off the park, especially the former. We are one of the lowest ranked teams for chances created apparently.

There's just absolutely nothing to give me any confidence that Ole has the nous to take this team any further.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

The board at least looks like they care about top 4. And they should care more with the pandemic happening. I'd say if top 4 is looking difficult for Ole before the year ends then he's gone

 

[VorZakone]

Remember he is the short term results specialist when his back is against the wall and everyone expects us to get beat. The problem is this is very short sited and not a sustainable answer to our manager position.

Fully expect results to pick up again.

 

[VorZakone]

How many players did United buy since Klopp became Liverpool coach?

 

[sunama]

Top 4 is the key.
If he gets top 4, he'll stay.
If our season goes off the rails and it doesn't look like he'll make top 4, he'll be sacked.

Now, the issue he has is that the team are playing really badly. Whenever we play, it feels like we'll concede 3 goals. We should've lost all 3 matches, but due to bad luck and a penalty after the final whistle blew, we won a match. That probably won't happen again.
Due to the train wreck of a transfer window, the negativity of bad football has been compounded, so it'll be interesting how we perform when we play on Saturday.

 

[CG1010]

Unfortunately yes Ole does seem to be soon going out. He has a demeanour of a man completely lost.

This is sad as he is the best post-Fergie manager we have got who atleast has managed to rebuild partially.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Not going to lie. I'm sometimes reminded of Moyes by him

 

[dr.twinny]

Especially with his face getting more dour as the days go by a la Moyse

 

[ti vu]

He is the best at endearing to the fan since he knows the club. However, this rebuild may take another restart from scratch given that we don't have a structure with DOF to oversee the continuity of our recruitment. AWB, Dan James, Maguire are at a very low point that gives us anything more than when Ole took over. Fan favorite is not the same as how another manager rate the players. Some players may get into the managers' bad book and we need a new overhaul.

When the team fails to to replicate our best form under Ole, then it's the same issue as before. The team has no direction. Not very good defensively, nor with possession, nor blowing team away offensively.

So very questionable on the personnel and the tactic framework of the team Ole built, from the new manager's perspective.

As I have said it before, fans expectations in terms of consistent and complete football is too high until we have a balanced team across all areas. Its simple but this message has been lost as we haven't had a balanced team with for last 10 years. But that's my perspective and its fine if majority don't agree with it. So I choose to look at various positive things that Ole has done.. when he had arrived it was no certainty but he has got Rashford and Martial firmly into established players. He can be credited for the emergence of Greenwood. People may shit on AWB right now but I am sure he is going to be an important player for years to come. In my books, he has done much better than Jose, LVG and Moyes combined!

 

[Micky Targaryen]

He's basically a lame duck waiting to get fired.

Look, I like Ole, but let's be objective: He's not a worldclass manager like Fergie was or like Pep and Klopp are right now.

He's solid, but nothing more.

He's not outsmarting other coaches in actual games, he doesn't turn mediocre players into overachieving worldbeaters and he doesn't exactly have a lot of pulling power on the transfer market.

Those fact alone will get him fired rather sooner than later, despite him not even being a "bad manager". It's just that he's clearly not someone "special" and this will always get you fired at a big club like United, Real, Bayern, Barca etc.

Cold hard reality.

Exactly, this is basically it in a nutshell.

Unfortunately on here, if you don't think Ole is good enough = You're an Ole hater. We don't hate the guy, we just think he hasn't shown anything special enough to qualify as a Manchester United manager. Wish we can collectively set our standards higher and not reward mediocrity.

Then my point from previous post was that the new manager may break up Rashford Martial Greenwood again, since he may prioritize the other aspect. Happens all the time with new manager.

 

[roonster09]

Yeah, there is sort of weird feeling this season that it will be very ugly and Ole will lose his job.

 

[Micky Targaryen]

When we'd lose against Newcastle and we moan = Knee jerk

When we'd lose against PSG, and we moan = Knee jerk

When we'd lose against Chelsea and we moan = Knee jerk

When we'd lose against Leipzig and we moan = Knee jerk

When you'd look back and we lost 4 games in a row and we moan = Knee jerk because those are tough fixtures and Ole wasn't backed enough and the Glazers should just give him a blank cheque to make record signings to continue his rebuilding!!! Poch would only come and destroy this mega rebuild project!!!!

[CG1010]

True.. Although Greenwood looks like a generational talent so he would probably be fine. Martial is at the most risk out of those three -- and I would add Bruno also to the list of worry. He may not thrive much under a possession-based manager. His natural instinct is to try those high-risk passes.

 

[Nikelesh Reddy]

Anyone else getting this? I feel like he’s doomed this season, I felt eerily similar during the summer of 2018 with Jose. It just feels like the players, the board, the media & even a large section of the fans have given up on him. We saw something identical with Jose, he got us a good league finish, didn’t get the players he wanted, sacked by Christmas. This whole pre season & subsequent start has dejavu written all over it.

Yeah,I actually thought he wouldn’t survive last season to be honest.I remember seeing us lose against burnley at home and I really thought it was all over for Ole.The signing of Fernandez did give us a temporary boost but it looks like the same old issues are coming back to haunt us again...I don’t think he”ll make it through until the end of the season...

 

[pass.pass.pass]

He may not thrive much under a possession-based manager. His natural instinct is to try those high-risk passes.

He seems to do fine for his NT. The issue at United for Bruno is that as a team, we are too slow in our build up. If everyone ahead of him is constantly making runs and opportunites for triangles, he wouldn't need to make those high-risk passes as often as he does. And let's admit that he does pull it off sometimes, like for Rashford's goal against Brighton. That was a great pass, the kind that Scholes played so often in early and mid 00s. He would be a terrific asset to a team that knows how to play modern winning football in which you need to be able to play both possession and counter-attack.

People have presented similar justifications for Pogba's lack of influence in this team, but the difference with Bruno is that he is a total team player and a hard worker. He does not ever try to be cute closer to his own box like Pogba does. Holding onto the ball unnecessarily is a disease in this team, and Bruno isn't infected (yet).

Bruno and Poch / or any technical manager would be a good match, I think.

 

[Gasolin]

Once we find match fitness, we will pick up 20 wins in a row in all competitions. We have a clear identity of play and the players know what is asked of them. We can do 20 wins in a row, the question is, when can we trigger that and can we do it starting Newcastle? And if we do, that's it, we will be fine. Because he's doing everything else very well. And he's a winner. He has won more, and knows what it feels to win, then all of those players in the squad bar Pogba. Rashford even said it was an incredible feeling he has never felt before.

It's just a media assassination attempt on Ole. United sackings are always a huge story and they are doing everything in their power to push things in that direction despite there being no justification for it.

Sadly, without crowds to show their support it's just clout chasing idiots on twitter that seem to be controlling the narrative and amplifying the bullshit. Almost all United supporters I know in real life are staunchly behind Ole and his vision for the club.

 

[Gasolin]

He has changed formations multiple times to beat Pep, draw against Klopp, beat Poch and Jose.
Some of his formations include 442 diamond vs Spurs, 352 vs City, 4231 vs City...
When you can beat big teams in big games playing different systems, against managers that are deemed to be better than you tactically, then it has to mean you are tactically competent yourself. It's pure logic.

We have struggled against low block teams. Sure, and we have addressed that in the second half of the season.

The new season has us struggle due to the lack of preseason.
And maybe there are some decisions to take. Ole wants us to hammer any team, including teams trying to press us, but it doesn't seem to work well right now.

In this case, we have 2 options:
- We either go back to a midfield of Scott and Fred both protecting more the defensive line, but then, the attacking patterns are bit less expansive, though we can be incisive, e.g. 1st half against City in the 1st game in the league
- And we use Pogba and Matic with Bruno only when we are certain to dominate the team, as they can keep creating offensive phases

But what we all want to try to do is to make Pogba and Bruno play together even against high press teams, and big games in general. Right now we struggle, so the only question is whether we keep trying or we for now switch back to a "safer" option that will guarantee us points as we've done it before, even though everyone thinks it's "counter attacking football".

#OleTheRebuilder

So your point is based on the results of 4 games that haven't even happened yet? This has to be a new low even for the Ole outers.

 

[RkkMan]

I don't think we'll be spending big anymore. I think the coffers have been emptied now because of Ole & Mourinho's spending and now the lack of income because of covid-19. This is about it now. If I was a shareholder in our public traded club, I wouldn't be happy at the club going out and spending more money just for the marginal benefit of being in the CL.

The club needs to now maximise the position they've established themselves in. Maybe a slightly higher level Everton - challenge for top 4 every once in a while but consistent europa league football. The fans will be happy - if we get an above average manager and make his minimum target just europa league qualification, he can stay in the job indefinitely. For the fans, that's the most important thing - just having a long term manager. The owners should give the fans what they want.

Consistent EL football comes with several financial penalties though which will affect their pockets. We`re talking a cut of over 30% of sponsorship money and natural losses a team of our stature faces when CL football is not achieved. Look at how Arsenal`s brand has been seriously devalued as a result of it don`t think the shareholders would be happy with that at all as it would also affect our ability to affect the very best sponsors as they won`t want to be associated with a EL team(our current sponsorship expires in a year)

Not buying that, if you asked 100 United fans in every City/Major Towns in the UK and Ireland if they've given up on Ole i'd be staggered if more than 15% said yes, it might be closer to 50/50 for those fans overseas who were attracted to the club by our Success/History. And i'll say no more.

 

[Florida Man]

Not going to lie. I'm sometimes reminded of Moyes by him

It's the wrinkles, mate.

Nah, to be honest, I can see that too now that you mention it. I think he's good to an extent but it's clear as day he is limited when it comes to the tactical aspect of the game. Going by my amateur armchair observation, it seems his style is too free form and relies on the independent creativity of players. Unfortunately, this isn't the seleçao we've got here nor is it 90s United. It's like the complete opposite of LVG who was anti freedom. We really need a tactician. I understand we don't have the players to win the league, and that we're seeing low points in some of them, but I still think they're good enough to get us better results than the shit we've seen.

 

[Godfather]

Knee jerk Café

That's funny because many on here were convinced he wasn't the right choice from the moment he was given the perma job. Me too. And that opinion sure as hell hasn't changed watching us underperform week in week out. Hardly knee jerk.

 

[norm87cro]

Personally I have a bad feeling of us turning into the new Arsenal (say from 2010 and 2015) not winning anything and playing in the CL every year if we sign a certain throphyless manager who did a ok job at a certain London based club that has no expectations each season. With Ole we will at least know he wasn't cut for the job if he fails within a season. And quite frankly all the pressure should be on the owners and not on the manager (whoever he is) from that point on.

 

[Nickelodeon]

Klopp is a weird example for making the best of what you've got. He's bought 24 players during his 5 years at Liverpool, that's essentially an entire brand new squad. He also won nothing and was on the end of several implosions and embarrassing losses until he bought the world's most expensive defender to fix his back line.

I'm not trying to downplay his achievement, he's a sensational manager and comparing him to Ole is foolish, but the example of Klopp shows how important it is to have the right structure in place to allow the manager to thrive. To target the right players and have the connection between recruitment and coaching to bring in the players who fit the style you're trying to play and get rid of the ones who don't.

Let me explain why Klopp is the perfect example. Liverpool won the CL and finished a point behind the having signed Alisson and Van Dijk over the previous 18 months. Ole signed Maguire, AWB and Bruno for a similar combined figure.

Going by our thinking, Liverpool should ideally have spent 200 million to go to the next level and become champions. But they steamrolled the league on the back of not signing a single starting player.

We have this thought process which completely eliminates the aspect of the manager to bring the best out of the resources available to him. It's almost like that if we don't sign superstars every window, the manager can do nothing but fail.

I understand that we're not in a position that Liverpool were in the beginning of 2019-20 season. Hence, our expectations on the back of little investment isn't currently to win the PL. But getting beaten at home by CP and Spurs in humiliating fashion has to be completely on the manager.

I remember a few years back watching Spurs Vs. Liverpool where Liverpool were 3-0 up at White Hart Lane and I was thinking that if it goes to 5, Vilas-Boas would definitely be sacked. And he was the very next day. There is an inevitability about sacking Ole because you can't justify capitulations like that. There was no tactical tweak to salvage the situation because we were only 2-1 down when we went down to 10 men. We could've hung in the game long enough to have a chance of getting something out of it. But when the entire team rolls over, you can only point your finger at one guy.

We genuinely need a coach who can look at our squad and say that he can challenge for the PL using this without signing 60 million+ players every other window. The narrative of the fanbase and our ex-players that without signings, we are doomed has to change.

 

[Marcus]

I have the feeling too. I think he will not last beyond Feb 2021. He comes across as amateurish and out of his depth.

 

[United Hobbit]

Good point this. Covid may reduce the time Ole gets to turn things around.

See i wonder if it may give him a bit more of a buffer as the crowds won't be at the games yet so they can ignore any potential anger from them, like j said I would have LOVED to see them at that awful Tottenham performance I think they would have turned not necessarily on Ole but those above him given resentment was already bubbling over the Sancho saga and probably also the players- i don't care what the manager is doing/ not doing but as professional footballers earning all that money you don't just give up at least show a little passion.
However I can also see your view Covid may Hasten his departure as finances (the main thing on their priorities) will be tighter so top 4/ keeping sponsors becomes more crucial- do they dare risk letting it get to a point its hard to claw back?

I know Ole is one of the more passive managers but his body language is starting to annoy me and remind me of Moyes- the way he sits slumped on the bench gives the impression of him being defeated and almost like he's run out of ideas. However I don't think he's lost the dressing room- but then are the players wanting him as they feel he gives them an easy ride and wouldn't want to go back to a Jose type character?

I dont doubt his love for the club but unfortunately love for it isn't enough to make him a good manager or anyone on here could do it.

At the very least he needs a stronger tactician as assistant manager to help him out a bit- someone young and dynamic with good in game management. Not sure who but...

 

[pocco]

We can do 20 wins in a row, the question is, when can we trigger that and can we do it starting Newcastle? And if we do, that's it, we will be fine. Because he's doing everything else very well. And he's a winner. He has won more, and knows what it feels to win, then all of those players in the squad bar Pogba. Rashford even said it was an incredible feeling he has never felt before.

I just want to see what you are seeing. Doing everything else well?

Signings? Question marks over them all already. Everyone hoping one would be sold after only a year in James.

Tactics? Defensive and submissive. We're Manchester United and we have only ever looked good on the counter under Solskjaer. It took Bruno coming in with his own ideas to save us last season.

Defensive coaching? Absolute shambles and should have conceded 5 more in the only game we have won... against bloody Brighton. Got ripped to shreds by a defensive manager 6-1.

Attacking coaching? Near bottom of table for chances created from open play. Again, only look good on the counter and can't break down an organised team. No visible plan except the counter, the rest of the time it looks like the players make it up on the fly.

Motivation? Our players look like they can't be bothered and no longer believe, though some argue its actually fitness issues. To me it's players that don't know what to do and are lacking direction/coaching.

In game management? We all know the answer to this one. Poor.

CV? Nothing on his CV makes you think he should be anywhere near this job. Took Cardiff down, but then took them near the bottom of the Championship before getting sacked. Brought in loads of players there who flopped. Rest of the time spent in Norway.

I could go on but I think that's enough.
